Hacking Contenthax - a Vulnerability in Wii U File System Verification

[RealityNinja]

think you might be using one of these XD:

you can also try switching to python 3.5 that worked for me

Yeah, how i do that? py -3.5 -i wupserver.py ?

re install python with the 3.5 package on their site

For me the freeze issue was not related to python revision (crashes on both) but wifi. I removed wifi n and no more problem with big files since then.

 

[DaBlackDeath]

Does anyone have the files this guy mentions?
I already have @xXDungeon_CrawlerXx's sounds from his package, but I cannot seem to find @subcon959's icon nor @DaBlackDeath's boot banner into tga ready files. :/

here are my tga files

here are my tga files

Oh my!
Thank you SO much!
I was everywhere for these.

@VinsCool:
Maybe it might be a good idea to put DaBlackDeath's and DungeonCrawler's TGA packages in the OP if other people want to get them easily without having to search throug hthe whole thread for them.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

@VinsCool here's the link for both packages in one RAR:

just made a new version thanks to dimok explaining some memory behavior of the homebrew launcher
-made possible elf path much longer, instead of 80 characters it now supports up to 250
-if a elf requests to return to hbl it will now also return to hbl instead of always forcing it out to mii maker, fixes apps like wupinstaller
you can grab the new .zip files right here.

Spoiler

ps.and when exactly should i press A button?

as it seem i also used outdated wupclient,
just re-download one from FIX94 post and everything works fine

 

[ShadowOne333]

Here's a little modification I made to DaBlackDeath's icon tga, in case anyone wants to add it to their package.

 

[ShadowOne333]

One more thing, does anyone have a meta.xml file for a USA console?
I just want it to say "Homebrew Launcher" in the menu.

just use the w.dl command to download the original and edit appropriately

Why is wupserver slow anyway?

Just downloading SM3DW save (18-20MB) took quite a while...

I've already mentioned it earlier but you can mount the sd in wupserver using mount_sd() and copy files directly between SD and the Wii u using w.cp and w.cpdir, which greatly reduces the transfer times.

Yes! Do this people.
I scream every time I forgot and upload a file larger then 100k instead of copy from SD.

Anyone know what values i can put in the meta.xml to give my homebrew launcher an 18 rating?
i presume this can be done using the pc_pegi_bbfc etc fields?

I use parental controls on my WiiU and given the dangerous nature of some homebrew would like to restrict access to the Homebrew Launcher.
This will stop my kids having access to any dangerous homebrew.

 

[FIX94]

Just pushed yet another new version, who would've though.
CHANGES:
-keep the hbl loader in sync with the latest commits
-added zips for mario kart ds, new super mario bros, star fox command and phantom hourglass
so yea, give it a shot.

Sorry for the noob question but if I've already modded my brain age game with the TheCyberQuake's guide can I do it again using this other rom.zip files? And If I can, correct me if I'm wrong but I should do first this:

Spoiler

w.up("rom.zip", "/vol/storage_usb01/usr/title/00050000/YOUR_GAME_TITLE_ID/content/0010/rom.zip")

And then upload the config.txt using this:

Spoiler

w.up("config.txt", "/vol/storage_usb01/usr/title/00050000/YOUR_GAME_TITLE_ID/content/config.txt")
w.chmod("/vol/storage_usb01/usr/title/00050000/YOUR_GAME_TITLE_ID/content/config.txt", 0x644)

Right? My game is on USB. Thanks!

Yes you can. I'll Also be updating the scripts hopefully today so they will work with the new games, the new config.ini and will auto-edit the meta.xml with a custom name you input
